Another New Guy!

Hello all,
Like everyone else who has posted in this forum, I too am looking for financial freedom. I have been thinking about this type of investing for some time now, but really never got serious about it. I have finally become tired of the 8 to 5 lifestyle, and have decided to focus my energy towards REI. To give you a little background history, I am thirty years old, and have been working full time since I was 19. I finally decided to go back to school in 2000, and I will finally graduate with a B.A. next month. My in-laws turned me onto this market some years ago when they were active in REI, but they have since gotten away from REI and focused their energy on day-trading stocks. I actually know very little about this type of investing, so I plan on spending a good deal of time educating myself so that I will very be prepared for my first deal. Anyway, I came across this website this weekend and realized immediatley how beneficial it could be. I look foward to communicating with all of you, and would very much appreciate any advice you could lend.
